* All measurements are body measurements unless noted as garment measurements. Measure over a dress shirt and dress trousers for suit sizing.
* Slim fit is cut close to the body. If you are between sizes, size up — especially for suit jackets, dress shirts, and outerwear.
* Suit jackets: Short = 5'4"–5'7", Regular = 5'8"–5'11", Long = 6'0"–6'3". Choose by height first, then chest.
* Dress shirts: neck and sleeve are the primary fit points. Measure neck at the base, sleeve from shoulder seam to wrist bone.
* Chinos, jeans, and shorts: measure your natural waist at the navel or where you wear your pants. Inseam is from crotch seam to hem.
* Swimwear: slim fit runs close to the body. If between sizes, size up for comfort. Drawstring and elastic waist styles offer extra adjustment.
* Outerwear: slim fit is cut to layer over a shirt or light sweater. If you plan to wear a suit jacket underneath, size up 1–2 sizes.
* Accessories: belts match pant waist size; ties are standard or slim width; socks match shoe size; hats measured by head circumference.
* Actual fit may vary by style, fabric stretch, and brand. Follow product page notes for specific fit guidance.
